In the late 9th century, Vikings have raided kingdom after kingdom and nearly conquered all of England. Wealthy monasteries and defenseless nuns were especially tempting targets and often suffered great losses. However, all of that stopped when Vikings were confronted by princess Aethelflaed, daughter of Alfred the Great.
Who was Lady of Mercia, and how did she shape the history of England by becoming Vikings' greatest nightmare?

In the 17th century in Germany, one of Europe’s most terrifying witch hunts turned the town of Bamberg against itself. Tortures that occurred in the "Witch Factory" forced innocent people to name friends, neighbors and family members, creating a deadly chain reaction that eventually reached even the richest and most powerful, while those running the trials profited from the people they condemned.
How did a witch hunt grow so powerful that almost nobody was safe? And what finally brought one of Europe’s deadliest witch hunts to an end?

Back in 1932, Australia went to war against the most unusual enemy. It wasn't another country or an invading army. It was a flock of 20,000 emus! They invaded and devastated farmers' wheat fields and the government had no other option but to take out the big guns, literally. What followed has since become one of the strangest military operations in the history: the Great Emu War.
So what actually happened during the Emu War, and how did one of the world's largest birds outsmart machine guns? And most importantly, who won?
